Initial Experience of Using First-Person Wearable Video Recording Technology During Central Venous Catheter Placement in the Cardiac Operating Room

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Observational exploratory study

Authors' conclusion

In this observational study, the study authors describe their experience using first-person wearable video-recording technology to precisely measure the timing of discrete events during CVC placement by anesthesia residents and anesthesiologists.

Study context

Population
Anesthesia residents, fellows and attending anesthesiologists placing intraoperative central venous catheter (CVCs) in cardiac operating rooms, University Hospital
Exposure
CVC placement times across 3 training levels
Outcome
Total time to complete CVC placement, phase-specific time and specific times of interest, measured with wearable video-recording (eye-tracking glasses)
Methodological detailssingle-center
  • Single-center

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Total CVC placement time including pulmonary artery catheter insertion, by training level

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Interval times and times of interest

Differences in interval times and times of interest across training levels

Variability of CVC placement phase time

Reduced variability with increasing experience
